Academic Consultation
Students are encouraged to consult with the director of the ALC for any reason, at any time. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are recommended. Students on academic or financial aid probation are REQUIRED to meet with the director at the beginning of each semester, and regularly as determined after the initial meeting.
If you have a question, problem, comment, interest, concern or anything else that might require a little attention from someone who can help, please DO NOT hesitate to email us at academiclearningcenter@albright.edu, or to schedule an appointment by calling 610-921-7662. You can also just drop by! There is no problem too big or too small that we can’t try to solve together.
